Description

The Go implementation relies on base64.StdEncoding.Decode which expects the base64 encoding to be complete with padding.

With Thrift it is legal to transfer binary data via JSON without padding, but the standard package can't handle this and returns an error instead ("invalid base64 data at offset N").
